It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day business of life, the struggles, the excitement, our plans for summer… the list goes on and on! At the same time the nation looks with great interest to the economy, the political battles, and the next election cycle. We fret about nukes in Iran, Russian hegemony, drug violence in Mexico.
But rising above the 24 hour news cycle is a statement made two thousand years ago by the Lord Jesus Christ:
When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. (Matt 25:31)
As Christians we are called to be model citizens, and we should always stand for what is right. We can work to maintain the freedoms that we enjoy in our country, held up as a beacon of hope to the rest of the world.
But we should always maintain, at the very center of our being, the core of our heart, that we are citizens of heaven, and that our true King, Jesus Christ, will return one day in a blaze of glory. He will defeat the enemies of God in one fell swoop. He will chain the embodiment of evil, called Satan, and toss him in the slammer for one thousand years.
And He will sit on the throne of His glory, in the Holy City Jerusalem. And we will be His people, Amen!
Join us Sunday for the final installment of “The Last Days: The Millennial Kingdom”
Till the whole world hears...
